re: Why did not T and W wait until after the tourney
Posted by Pentagon69 on 3/14/22 at 1:42 pm
This situation stinks. It has been handled unprofessionally and under a cloak of mystery. This situation was known by LSU for three years and it was assumed by the “strong arse offer” to Javonte Smart. That’s all we heard about.
All the news centers about the machinations Woodward purportedly is dealing with but where is Tate in all this. The letter to the LSU community was signed off by both.
The charges against Wade appear vanilla in the present landscape of the college recruitment experience.
There has been no news of a renegade culture with the kids Wade has recruited. They appear well spoken, respectful and harbor genuine feelings for the coach.
All this uncertainty regarding the timing of the firing suggests a diversity element is in play.

Waters was a guy you wanted with the ball in his hands down the stretch, but I digress.
I agree this team will be fun to root for utilizing fill court pressure for much of the game. What I’m wondering is where is Justice Williams, the Philadelphia player that was a big time get. Appreciate the help.

LSU had another guard from Connecticut (?)
Maurice Williamson
Was the son of Super John Williamson who starred for the Nets in the 80’s. A high volume scorer who could light it up. Saw him play in the championship game of Connecticut’s tourney where he starred for perennial powerhouse Wilbur Cross high.
He led Cross that evening in a 105-103 loss in a game that featured 4 eight minute quarters.
Was a larger guard than his son.

I remember watching on close circuit tv from a large hall in the Edmund Kirby Smith dorm. The game was broadcast without sound. On their winning drive late in the game LSU was hit two or three pass interference calls which set up the winning field goal. If memory serves two were against Casanova.

Perhaps the sad reality lies in the fact that both parties have betrayed the American people.
There is no way that approximately 537
Senators and congress people can legislate fairly for the 340,000,000 that occupy our land. These people care only for power to perpetuate the goals of the elitists who manipulate the common folk like puppets.
The great majority on both sides of the political spectrum are a decent, moral lot wishing freedom to pursue their dreams. The day may have arrived where the battle to exist depends upon the elimination of the politicos in D.C. who have abandoned us to further their agenda.
I shudder to think what havoc the aftermath of such a conflagration will spell for the remnants of the nation.

This message is the narrative going forward well past the election.
Expect to see accelerated craziness throughout the summer leading to November.
The left is going full throttle to push their agenda, claiming the moral high ground in an effort to stifle speech. The claim that America is riddled with systemic racism is tough
to swallow especially among young millennials who believe it to be true. What systemic racism have they been subjected to since their birth at the turn of the century?
The divide in our country has reached a tipping point. If we are to survive as a nation there must be a dialogue addressing everybody's concerns. All lives matter, and no reasonable person should be shamed voicing this view. If systemic racism garners all the headlines where is the courageous voice pointing out the systemic violence among a segment of the black community that accounts for a startling percentage of lethal crime.

A quote from former Supreme Court Louis Brandeis: “Under our Constitution the only remedy for evil speech is more speech, not enforced silence.”
When I hear politicians prattle about this is not who we are, I wonder what we have become.

The 1969 team should have played for the national championship.
Archie’s heroics at home led Ole Miss to a 26-23 win, spoiling the chance for a perfect regular season and a spot in the title tilt.
That squad led the country in rush defense, giving up a paltry 37 yds a game.

should have just lobbed the past mid-court and have someone from either team hit it. Sloppy,sloppy play on our part.
That was exactly what should have happened with .5 secs left to play.
Eliminate all doubt

re: What’s the Left’s endgame
Posted by Pentagon69 on 1/7/20 at 10:23 pm
Our perception of the Left is the rhetoric assaulting our senses demanding systemic change based on racism and illegitimacy. Those issues serve as the springboard for the myriad of issues embraced by the MSM.
The soldiers in this struggle, like crooning zombies, view this as their crusade to create justice for all. Such a zeitgeist lacks a fundamental understanding of human behavior thru time.
The “real” Left are the corporate elites and power brokers selling a globalist view where only the wealthy and political leaders shape the globe according to their vision. A critical step for this occurrence is free borders to bastardize the world’s peoples. Everyone will exist at the whim of a Planetary Council that will dictate the rules we live by.
This may not occur for a few generations as racial, cultural and religious divisions will take time to blur.

As an older man growing up in a large, northern city, attacks against whites by the “oppressed” class fostered the chasm that unfortunately shows no signs of relenting.

I don’t think we are going to knock OSU off their perch regardless if we take care of business.
Others responses on this thread have mentioned “maneuvering “ in the current rankings, and the last few weeks have seen a rather dramatic departure from the AP and Coaches poll.
Big 10 teams are clinging to higher rankings after the top 4 in the 8-12 range,and bewilderingly, Cincinnati and Michigan dropped a single spot.
No further evidence can prove manipulation more than the inexplicable Alabama rank of 12. Just last week the experts were ballyhooing the Tide’s chances to join the party until they got nipped at Auburn. Now the drop to 12, with 3- two loss teams ahead of them and a 3- loss Auburn squad staring down at them. Does anyone believe Bama would be an underdog to any of those three??
The Tigers could wrap up this miracle season by running the gauntlet and leaving no doubt.

Too many comparisons to recent greats. Simmer down now. How about for those old enough to remember Phil Simms from the Giants. Same size, leadership skills,good but not great arm and the ability to run a little.
